President's Day 2011

It was another very successful President's Day for Danny Hall and the 152 players who enjoyed a fun (or serious?) team event and some super prizes. The event was graced with some good weather and a well attended presentation saw the winning teams collect their drivers from a happy President. Full results are available on the Club website (for another 5 days) and all photos are visible on Flikr (see link on the club website home page). Thanks to all the helpers before and during the event.
